5-0 performance parts

BTW, I forgot to mention the cam... The Steeda #19 cam is a good upgrade from stock, but has a 114 (?) lobe of seperation that helps w/ finicky computers (works well w/ the SN-95's which are known for ECU issues w/ a cam).

These computers can have alot thrown at them and not even throw one code. i'd like to poit out JTsmith's 347 and x-spec cam engine that is just now getting tuned :

That's good to know.... Sn-95 Mustangs are notorious for disliking a cam w/o a good tune.

Thats Before the OBD-II

Bingo, the greatest performance component of the 96-01 Explorers is the OBDII system. You can do anything as long as the PCM gets tuned for it. With older PCM's you have to buy a bunch of stuff which is of no use for a 96+ Explorer.
(FMU, adjustable FPR, boost retard ignition, calibrated MAF, Tweeker, adjustable MAF device, adjustable IAC)

What is this OBDII you speak of?

<--EEC IV on 90 Mustang

I shall toss my EECIV from my 91 Mark VII when I get to working on it. I'll swap the OBDII system I have from spare 98 Explorer parts. That alone will make it much better to work with. Regards,

i don't really support putting MSD, or Accel coils on new vehicles unless you're running a large cam set up or forced induction. The stock ones are ussaly very good. I do however belave in older cars redoing the ignition system is a good idea but mainly for economy reasons. I don't consider it a HP gaining upgrade. $ for $ you arent gaining much, maybe like 1/2hp from the swap. Also they ussaly take away from spark plug life.

i've had a set of accels and msd both fried on me screw it im sticking to motorcraft!

I think you must have an underlying issue. I have never heard of anything like this before. Usually they get replaced once, if ever.

 

[CDW6212R]

Ditto, and BTW they are the identical coil packs as any 4.6 that has a pair. Order them for a Mustang.

One of my favorite 'signatures' I have seen online:

MSD= My Spark Disappeared

I agree with these guys...if you fried your aftermarket ones, you would have just as easily fried your OEM ones...
